Intoxicated by the scent of roasted coffee according to ancient rites of Mayan and Aztec civilizations – not for nothing do the best restaurants in the city are served here -, Hodeidah creates an atmosphere worthy of a novel by Gabriel García Márquez. Candies, lollipops, jams and chocolates of all kinds, British-style teas and teapots: whims necessary to get ahead. Because, from Macondo to Milan, feeling alone is inevitable. But do you know what the real gem is? The Indonesian Kopy Luwak: a unique coffee in the world, roasted after the beans have been ingested and defecated by the luwak – palm civet.
